hight as possible, and hence have
originated the various architectural
forms of pyramids and obelisks, towers
in endless variety, domes of various
shapes-classic: Byzantine and Sara
cenic-the minarets of the East and tall
monumental pillars; but the spire,
obvious as its form seems in its pure
simplicity, was unknown in architecture
until toward the end of the eleventh
century. There have been many dis
cussions, somewhat Improbable, though
interesting, as to the source whence the
media val builders drew their first ideas
of the pointed arch and spire, and
general opinion has apparently settled
to the conclusion that the pointed arch
was simultaneously suggested to the
various nations of Europe by the sight
of the Saracenic arch during the
erusades. If this were really so, it
must be added that the Christian build
ers improved so vastly upon any hints
they may have received from the East
that all traces of such origin rapidly dis
appeared. The spire, however, is a
purly self-evolved feature, which
originated in the general tendency of
pointed architecture. completely in
dependent ofexternal hints or examples.
Among other suppositions it has been
said that the form of the spire might
have been suggested by the pyramids or
obelisks of Egypt; but there are so many
points of dissimilarity between these
objects and the true spire that it is ex-
tremely unlikely.-[Amer Arehi-

Miss Faithful on Woman,s Work.

Miss Emily Faithful in letter to the
London Daily Ne,cs gives some sound
advice on the subject of the employ
ment of women. The subject is one on
which the flow of talk is indeed contin-
uous, but neither sound nor helpful.
Miss Faithful goes straight to the root
of the matter. Three points she OBJ
serves, should be insisted upon: U)
the need of definite training fer girls;
(2) the best work at fair market prices
must be given; (S) senseless social
preiudices must be abandoned. The
first condition is the most important; il
that is secured the rest will follow.
An employment for which a regular
training has been undergone is gener-
ally respected; witness the change in
the status of women teachers since
higher education became possible. A
trained worker and she only, can offer
the kind of work which commands the
market price; the work of the unframed
is only paid for as charity, and the fig
Ire is sure to be low. But as Miss
Faithful justly complains, ''unhappily
most ladies begin TO work when they
require money to 1--we on, and youth and
hope have fled.
1t is then too late for training, and EN-
ployment is often to be gained only
after humiliating entreaties, while pay
ment is given grudgingly on account OF
the inefficiency of the work done or the
unbusinesslike habits of the worker.
Now, businessiike habits and the power
of regular steady work are only to be
gained by training. and if women's
work is to rise above the dillettante
standard they must follow the only
possible road to success by due and care
full preparation. All are compelled to
hear from time to time dismal stories of
women of gentle birth and nature re-
duced to poverty and helpless to extri-
cate themselves from its miseries. The
unavoidable conclusion is that parents
wonld do well to prevent the possibility
of such misfortunes by encouraging
their daughters to qualify themselves
while young for following some trade or
profession. Then, us Miss Faithful re-
marks, we must cast aside social pref
udices. The teaching profession is said
to be overcrowded. Commercial life
may offer better chance, and if the
fear of losing social position were bold
" disregarded women would find that
they had the choice of a variety of more
or less lucrative employments-lMan-
chester eng Guardian.
